You remind me of the babe

I am preparing for the Townsville Show art and craft exhibit, which I found to be a bit wanting last year. Even the cake display had been reduced to the size of only two trestle tables. I resolved to get involved. I missed the cutoff date last year, as it is a month before the show.

I submitted paperwork to the show organisers to say that this David Bowie small quilt/wallhanging will be finished, and I have only just started it! I had best get on with it!

David Bowie passed away just one and a half years ago, and what an unusual stand alone person he was.  I love this as a tribute.

pillowcase

Almost too big for a dummy... here is my little man enjoying his Hungry Caterpillar quilt made by Grandma, and his "horhees" pillow case. 

If it's any other pillow case, he throws his pillow away. He knows what he likes. *giggle*

Frida

Oh Frida Kahlo! Mexican Art icon!

An artist who was physically expressive of her artistic and wild hearted tendencies. Married to a Mexican artist, she and her husband were both famous for their in their own rights. 

Reknowned as both having extra marital affairs.. except her husband was pretty annoyed when she did the same thing to him...and he changed some of his public art, to put her head on the figure of a prostitute. Men! Double standards!

Anyway, I particularly like her self portraits, and here is one I have turned into a shopping tote.

Wrinkle In Time cloth

Here is the progress on another tribute to the movie Wrinkle In Time.

This altar cloth/card reading cloth is almost finished. Machine applique, free motion machine embroidery, and painting details.

I am in a hurry to get it finished for the Townsville Show. I am also hoping to finish off 2 quilts and make a small wallhanging. Wish me luck!

Three more totes

I am adoring the intense colours on these prints.

 Mermaid bag.

Stars in the Galaxy bag.

Deathly Hallows bag - the final part of Harry Potter where it all comes together. 

Photos just don't capture the intense colours in these totes.

Are you ready for the plastic bag ban?

Harry Potter shopping tote

Only a few short weeks until the single use plastic bags will no longer be given out, and we will have to buy a bag, or carry something cute in our handbags for that unexpected lunchtime window shopping.

This is Harry Potter and the... ????

Which book is it from? Can you see the cat plates that were on the wall? The extendable ears? The mimbleus mimbletonia? the puking pastilles?

I am having such fun creating these shopping totes!

Healing Wishes bag and cards set

My latest oracle card bag creation... and I have decided to make one to keep, and one to sell.


Appliqued with the goddess symbol, embellished with free motion embroidery.


The appliqued heart is embellished with an angel dreamcatcher.

And the fabric is made from dandelions... the first wishes we made as children (apart from birthday wishes) were all on dandelions.

 So here they are, one to keep, and one to sell.

Thanks for dropping by. x
